ClutchFans Game Thread: Hornets @ Rockets 2/5/2026

Lol.

Ime sucks.

Ime can't let players do what they are good at.

Dillon Brooks and Landal all playing better than In Rockets.

 

Another math loss to a team that is setup to shoot 3s.

DD

 

I have no idea why he NEVER plays at all. He seems to still be in shape and we literally have him here just to rot on the bench with no hope of playing time.

 

Amen hit 37% from the corner last year. He needs to stop being a chicken and shoot the shot. Even if he can't hit above the break, they can't just leave him in the corner. That's good enough. PJ Tucker made a career out of it and PJ Tucker had 1/4 the potential Amen does.

 

Sengun’s defense has been a joke this season, and now he’s not even trying

he doesn’t even attempt to give effort

Alpi stands for Always Leaving Paint Indefensible

 

Drafting Reed third overall and not having a better plan and scheme to develop him is blowing up in their faces.
Doing this *after* the FVV injury and not picking up another PG is how people get fired.

 

Missing Adams hurts a lot. He was the big frame we need

 

Did we win?

 

It’s certainly possible that they are losing trust in Udoka and his lack of a cohesive offensive system. I think they took an undermanned Celtics team lightly last night. Tonight concerns me because they should have played with inspired effort after losing by 22 last night.

 

Ime has his flaws sure but I’m not convinced he’s the problem… he’s been a good coach overall, but we definitely need to play faster and launch more threes, we don’t have the personnel to execute well in the half court. Idk I could be very wrong but it is highly frustrating as a fan.

 

You think we lost cuz of paint defense? They only score 109 points. We lost cus they hit 17 threes and we couldn’t throw it in the ocean.

Every team has multiple guys who can create shots and score get to the rim. And we always play 3 guys on the court that can’t do that.

 

I wanted to keep Landale so bad because he can shoot 3s and we need a center that can clear the paint for our guys to attack it....he fits better than any center we have on the team including Alpi.

DD

 

It's always been a joke but I was ok with it because Adams was at Center. Alpi is out of position defensively... he will never own the paint defensively.

 

We’re broken

 

Fire everyone in the FO + oaching staff, play all the "young core" straight 'til the end of season and asses their trade value then TANK next season.

 

And replaced with what? We don’t have any shooters on the bench. Heck even Reed who’s suppose to be our shooter can’t make a thing lately.

 

He is also a good team mate too.

 

Scheduled Loss even with Charlotte's moving parts out.

 

It’s really showing now without Mr. I Love Steak from the Down Under cleaning up his messes.

 

When you look at the last 2 losses, you can see the Rockets are lacking depth. If Adams hadn't gone down I could understand that no moves were made at the trade deadline. But now with Fred and Adams out, and Tari not playing back to backs. That's a huge amount of rotational guys.
